Had to reupload. A piece of background noise cancelation software I use turned off the keyboard test sound.

I've found it extremely helpful and useful to place my iPad Pro and keyboard/case in a sleeve. This way the pencil does not come off of the device when tossed in a bag. This offers protection and additional security when taking the device on the go.

I understand what you’re saying about the Apple Pencil. I bought an Apple Pencil holder from ESR that sticks to the back. Works great.

Ooh that unexpected Magic Keyboard ASMR 👌🏼🥰

I love this little apple pencil accessory that’s small and can be folded back. You slide the pencil through it and it holds it in place as well as allows it to charge. (I’ll link in a separate comment to be safe but it’s called OFA pencil holder)

The silver iPad with white keyboard looks really nice but i think I have to go with Space black with black keyboard combo. Not sure though..🤔

I just bought a brand new M2 MacBook Air, iPad Air M2 11-inch with the Apple Pencil Pro, the Folio Case as well as Apple Care+ for less than the iPad Pro 13-inch 256 with the new keyboard and Pencil Pro would have cost me. The 13-inch Pro has an amazing display but it's hard to recommend that product when you can get an M2 MacBook and the new iPad Air together for less unless you have specific needs. Not to mention Mac-iPad Continuity feature is amazing. Is the new display worth that much for an average user?

I pre-ordered the base model 13 inch iPad Pro with the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil Pro and picked them up yesterday, not certain if I was going to like them or not. I bought a 12.9’ iPad Pro with the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil last year but took it back within two weeks because while it was incredibly powerful and super fast, the software that I need to use hadn’t caught up with the tablet hardware. Let’s just say that a year makes a huge difference in software. As an IT person in general, a network engineer specifically, I needed software that would let me do remote control (primarily RDP) and SSH/Telnet for console access. The apps I use (Microsoft RDP and Termius) are so much better now than they were a year ago. Add to that another app I found, a-shell that gives me actual command line access on the iPad, and I’m pretty sure I’ve found my laptop replacement. I will definitely be keeping the M4 iPad Pro.

I got the new iPod Pro 11 inch, I love it. Thinking about the Magic Keybourd but not sure yet. Thanks for the video 👏🏻

I'll comment again just for the sake of engagement! Great video man, I've been loving the iPad pro with the new keyboard!

I bought the Tomtoc portfolio case to store my iPad and accessories when I travel. I am loving it. It’s nice to have that added layer of protection and a place for my AirPods pro, pencil, and charger.

You can remap the squeeze function to not just switch tools but also Siri shortcuts so you can have it take a photo, turn off lights, open the trunk on your car, call your friend, anything really- the possibilities are endless

How long does the keyboard last before it needs to be recharged?

I got the iPad Pro 11 inch today along with the pencil pro. My intention was to use this as a tablet and not like a laptop. I already have a MacBook Pro for that. And I really didn’t want to basically have an iPad Pro that resembled the lid/screen of my MacBook. two different functions for me anyway. I don’t plan on getting the keyboard from Apple. I’ll Get a third-party case and maybe a keyboard but I want something that doesn’t have to have a keyboard attached to it all the time and I do want something that I can grip. I don’t wanna just pull the iPad off of the keyboard thing. I actually wanted to have a case when I use it like a tablet, one thing that’s really bugging me even though I’ve only had it a few hours is the fact that the pencil is fatter than the iPad itself and anytime you just set it down or tap it or whatever the pencil ends up falling over and blocking the camera. I know it’s pretty minor but it bugs me pretty bad in a short period of time. anyway thank you for the video.

Please try old m2 or m1 iPad with this

@2:13 "Feels pretty good" why not explain a bit? Compared to the standalone MK or even the MacBook keyboard...

Will you recommend a screen protector also?🤔

I was watching... and it disappeared, lol! Back for the reload! I'm loving mine, very impressed over the old one. That one was nice but this is almost on par with a MBP keyboard IMHO.

The Logitech Combo Touch is so much better and more flexible than the Magic Keyboard. Being able to just pop off the keyboard and still have a stand, while protecting the side rails all the way around makes so much sense. And it’s significantly cheaper too. And Apple sells it on their site.

Another reviewer showed that when you tap on the screen when the iPad pro is connected to the apple Magic keyboard with the Apple Pencil that the screen wobbles back much more so than the previous Magic Keyboard.

I put an adhesive sleeve for the Apple Pencil on the back of my Magic Keyboard for travel

omg i wish the ipad pro case had that little notch for the apple pencil

Hey, nice video! I was wondering if that new keyboard is compatible with the new 11 inch iPad Air M2?

For the pencil I got the moft case that covers the pencil. I hope they make one for the m4 iPad Pro.

Will an older iPad Pro fit in the new keyboard?

It's too heavy and I did not need my iPad to mimic my Macbook. I waited for the Logitech Folio Combo. It's lighter and I can fold it over

I was expecting like $129 maybe max, But damn thing is $289 for the 11" keyboard? The fuckk?!!!

What's the weight of the new magic keyboard?

I got the 13", the white Magic Keyboard, and the new pencil. I like them all. I thought the pencil squeeze things was very gimmicky during Apple's unveiling. In fact I use it and like it. It' saves time. My old iPad Pro was 6 years old so it was time to upgrade. The old display was SO good that I actually can't tell much difference with the new OLED display.

Love my new iPad Pro 11” M4. Love the keyboard for typing. Love the mouse for scribbling and drawing. Love the naked iPad so thin and light I practically carry it anywhere. I sell my MacBook. Mac + iPad + iPhone covers all my needs.

What do you all think about the Pro as a second screen? Need something for business travel...

I have a Thule bag I use and put my iPad Pro with Apple pencil attached every time I travel and I’ve never had an issue with it coming off. I feel like that comment was pretty trivial and reaching for a complaint point. Besides most bags have pen storage pockets so you can always store it there.

I got mine today and I have it all set up now - best thing I can say is: SWEET! It all works together and so nicely. A complete package. So much potential here - incredible M4 chip, display, etc - now the software has catch up and take full advantage of this amazing iPad.

I saw a video where the user touched the iPad screen when it was attached to the keyboard, which you did not do. The whole thing tipped back. It appears the changes to this version of the keyboard were not well tested. I decided to save a few hundred dollars and purchased a wireless 75% mechanical keyboard. It’s so much fun to use.

is it wobbling when typing or touching screen?

I’m looking forward to a full review of the M4 iPad Pro & MK/Pencil Pro. As a M1 12.9” Pro user, I really would like to know if it’s worth it to upgrade now. Haven’t had the ability to get to an Apple Store yet to check it out so that’s why I’m watching all I can on KZfaq about them.

So glad people on youtube is pointing out the design flaw more and more now of the so called "storage" of the ipen. Like whoever designed it initially obviously never took their ipad anywhere else but left it on their desk so they just needed a place holder, literally. I was hoping by 2nd iteration of the current pencil they fix that issue... alas no

I got the pro with the folio case and pencil pro, currently have a Mac and iPad Pro for optometry school school, but once I graduate I’ll get the keyboard and I’ll use that and leave the Mac at hkme

They work great plugged into a monitor, full sized keyboard and mouse. It is better than Dex, it is the same. Been connecting them using a USB-C dongle for years. Now you can even extend instead of just mirror. Much better than dex.

That thing is WOBBLINGGGG

iPad can’t lie flat with the keyboard attached. That’s something I wished they fixed since previous version

Ordered mine. I feel like WWDC is going to be good for the iPad this year and it might be limited to the latest release

Upgraded from m1 12.9 inch to m4 13 inch, what an upgrade. This iPad will last forever man.

The new iPad Pro looks fantastic! But for my use cases, MBP fits better.

I got the iPad M4 11” with the Magic Keyboard/Pencil……I, had all of that in the previous version too. I, like you have been waiting for them to do something with pencil storage. Find-My helps me find it, but what about helping me transporting it so that I don’t lose it in the first place. I’ve had to resort to 3rd party solutions. Lastly, I don’t use a laptop at all anymore. This is it. To some degree, I feel like I still operate with a limp…..I’m hoping still that Apple will get over their Mac obsession, and allow a dual-boot option with the iPad Pro…..maybe activated when it’s docked on the Magic Keyboard, or at least a Mac-like OS that is WAY closer than just stage-manager.

May I ask please what mic you are using?

Finding I can’t really justify the upgrade from the base 12.9” M1, but the new keyboards look great. The hardware looks good but I would need some big software features to justify it so the iPad could actually do something qualatively different - MacOS crossover, IDEs and Docker for software development, on-device AI features, console emulators that require more oomph than the M1 with 8GB RAM can provide.

Love the point about the new Apple Pencil Pro's storage. Apple will likely never allow DEX-like usability on the iPad Pro just for profit's sake.

is the keyvboard the same material on the lid than the previous one that got dirty and smeared with finger print oil

So, do you find that you hit the bottom of the ipad when you use the function keys?

and how is the Samsung Tab S9 compared to the new Ipad? is the display a huge different?

Happy with my M1 iPad. But every time I misplace the pencil I’ll want to upgrade.

A dynamic software would be great!

If Apple could even give a light mac version for ipad to allow for business/school work where you need to things the mac is better for would be perfect

Why no one is testing the 60 watt charging on this thing?

Completely agree with the software and needing some macOS “Dex-like” mode for us nerds and professionals who need desktop software support

The keyboard is excellent and because it feels so much like my MacBook keyboard, I find myself automatically (with muscle memory) trying to glide across to my other iPad Pro (as with Universal Control on my MacBook) to drag & drop files from the second iPad, and to only need one keyboard to control all my open devices (that are connected with the same Apple ID). This would definitely improve the functionality of this keyboard and new M4 iPad Pro. Otherwise I have to use a separate bluetooth keyboard with my other iPad Pro, and often I even have a 3rd iPad open doing some other task, so the desk quickly becomes cluttered with multiple keyboards when I should be able to tie them all together with this single new keyboard in the same way that I can when using my MacBook Pro. Because this new iPad keyboard is so nice and thin, it is even more comfortable than my M1 16" MacBook keyboard ... so users should be provided with the choice which keyboard they prefer to use to control all open Apple devices using the "Universal Control" function. At the moment "Universal Control" has to be initiated from a Mac computer, cannot be used with multiple iPads by themselves. Universal Control should also extend to iPhone, so that files can be dragged and dropped between any Apple Device and that a single keyboard (of the user's choice) can be used to control all of the devices simultaneously.

Why isn't back compatible with m2 onces

Man, do you watch any other KZfaq videos other than your own like they explain how to do that with a dock?

I’ve used the MK with my 6th gen 12.9” and was not impressed. IMHO, the best keyboard for iPad Air and the Pro is the Logitech Combo Touch. While it doesn’t have the USB charging port, its keyboard is top notch. It also offers more protection and flexibility (you can remove the magnetic keyboard or fold it under). Logitech now has one for the 13” and it’s available from Apple. Just my $.02…

Can’t support for 13” iPad air😢

I have the Magic Keyboard for the previous iPad. It really sucks at protecting the iPad, it makes it heavy AF. can’t use it on bed or on ur lap because believe me it will fall and dent your iPad. And the pencil always fall. I’m never buying a new iteration of the iPad magic keyboard. TBH.

But I never liked that it doesn’t provide proper protection on the sides and the iPad pops off if jostled or dropped-not good!

It hooks up to the monitors automatically when you do it unless you got a cheap dock I thought you was a KZfaqr

I am curious, on 0:52, what is the purpose of the iPad under the camera?

They need to give you a choice to run MacOS or iPadOS on these things...

Had me at the title

Apple, take your Apple Pencil back to the drawing board & design a sturdier, pencil-secured & reasonably priced keyboard! Also, get new management who will listen to what customers want and stop price gouging!!!

This old normal still rocking my Apple 2017 12-inch iPad Pro with third party $ 71.99 iPad pro 12.9 case with Keyboard 2017 2nd 2015 1st Generation, 360 Rotatable Wireless Folio 180 Swivel Stand Hard Cover Auto Sleep Wake up Black.

You can use a dex mode its called Stage manager' - think its alot better than Dex as well 🎉

I love my tablet. Here's some background info. I got one around 13" M4 iPad Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra. LOVE IT

I love the magic keyboard but it is WAY too expensive for what it is.

I heard the Magic Keyboard rubber material deteriorates pretty quickly despite how expensive they are. Glad there's aluminum now, but rest of it is still the same material

I think, the new iPad Pro is nice and the Apple Pencil is the best accessory but the Magic Keyboard and the lack of protection for an expensive machine I would need to look elsewhere for something that gives me trackpad keyboard and protection

whenever you review a keyboard, especially a white one, please remember to show its backlit it’s kind of a must, like talking about camera when reviewing a smartphone

I have the 12.9” M1 iPad Pro with Apple Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil .. it is AMAZING but because of iOS completely useless .. I use it as a media device at home while cooking, and as a journal using a journal app I had to BUY because apple doesn’t have a journal app for iPad just iPhone (?!?!?! WTF ?!?!?!) and then I use it as a cellular enabled laptop-lite for travel, eg when on vacation or meeting clients in the field to do very light email and photo of checks to email etc etc etc etc etc (yes checks, those things banks issue) .. to be brutally honest, if the MacBook Pro had a cellular option I wouldn’t need the iPad at all .. conversely if the iPad Pro had a macOS option I might not need the MacBook Pro at all

*COMPLETE SILENCE* "That sounded so good!" 🫠

I did end up picking up the 13” iPad Air and it’s awesome! I had an 11” older iPad Pro and honestly apart from how fast the other iPad unlocked from the home screen this one is a fantastic upgrade! Next is the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil. 

Who in their right mind would pay 460$ for a magic keyboard is a mystery to me.. it's a fn keyboard with a piece of metal. My razer blackwidow was 150$ and has mechanical keys.

I’ve never lost my pencil when attached on the iPad and placed in a bag. It’s not a thing.

When you connect the iPad to a dock stage manager turns on. That’s their dex equivalent.

Until they make the keyboard folds completely flat and reduce the weight it is a no go for me. I have the Magic Keyboard and used it on one trip! The weight and fact I could not use the tablet any longer as a handheld flat table while I was lying in on the couch caused me to relegate the Magic Keyboard to the back of my closet.

Anyone notice he wore the same shirt for the same video for the other Magic Keyboard

jeh super vido

HEY!! ESR SELLS AN APPLE PENCIL HOLDER THAT ATTACHES TO THE BACK OF YOUR KEYBOARD CASE!!! MUCH BETTER THAN SAMSUNG!!!

Magic Keyboard is very very cool, but the one thing repelling me from it is the fact that the sides of the iPad are un protected while in it… I’m too clumsy to use an iPad without a case 🫤, so Logitech combo touch or the new ESR one for me

I won't be getting one of the M4 iPads, I've already got the perfect combination (for me, of course) an M3 Pro MBP 14 and the iPad mini 6.

How can you make a video about the Magic Keyboard and not talk about how much better the trackpad is over the old version. It’s almost worth upgrading to the new iPads just to get the new keyboard because of the trackpad.

Prefer to have MacBook Air with XDR screen and 5G modem. Screen with attached keyboard is just too sophisticated.

It’s really difficult to open

The iPad Pro with Mseries should be the all in one. If you want an iPad done, switch to macOS now you have a laptop and a desktop computer that you can just open and turn it into a media consumption device think😮

So I’m actually planning on getting the 13” iPad Pro, Magic Keyboard, & pencil pro later this year (sometime around Christmas)so I can use it for college next year. I’m also planning on getting a Mac mini & subscribing to duet display so when I start in person classes in the fall of next year I can remotely access my home computer and have macOS on my iPad. (Yes, I know it’s technically more expensive than just getting a MacBook Air or something, but with my current situation I need to plan on cheaper short term & expensive long term or else I’ll have to wait 2 whole years before I can even start college &/or move out of the situation that is currently limiting me from doing anything with my life)

I have an Apple Pencil case that I like

I wish it had. 24 GB of RAM option and longer battery life… I would then take the leap and make the iPad my Laptop. I have faith that Apple will have great software updates for iPadOS in the near future.

If it runs MacOS when the keyboard is attached ... and dump GarbageOS ... I am IN!!! I will totally buy this. But until Apple unleashes the hardware there is no point replacing my 2018 iPad Pro.

Well I love ipads but would not replace my computers with it. Photography, music making, 3D modeling, programming, video editing, games are still far better on a computer. For lighter tasks the ipad is fine though.

Bought the iPad Pro 11" today and the keyboard. The keyboard is well worth the 300 bucks. I was hesitant to purchase it due to the cost but after just a few hours of playing around with it the whole setup has exceeded my expectations. Very functional and high quality. No regret on the spend.

It does that already what are you talking about?

Damn it apple just give us a choice to have full Mac OS on an ipad

Imagine if apple made something like Samsung Dex.
